Getting Ready for Fishing of Bicycles in Amsterdam’s Canals

Amsterdam is the most bicycle-friendly cityin the world, with 40% to 60% of all trips within the city made on bikes. Some estimate that there are between 880,000 to a million bicycles in the city, which is more than the city’s permanent population, by as much as 20%. Amsterdam also has lots of canals —165, with a combined length of 100 kilometers. Unavoidably, some of the bicycles end up getting wet.
